In a kingdom where a prince's misdeeds are punished by his stand-in, a spoiled young royal and his whipping boy find their lives irrevocably changed. When they are forced to flee their castle and inadvertently swap roles, they fall in with a band of dangerous outlaws. This unlikely trio must navigate treacherous landscapes and outwit their pursuers, all while grappling with their newfound identities and the true meaning of courage. Fleischman masterfully blends humor, suspense, and a touch of historical flavor in this unforgettable tale of adventure and self-discovery.
